I know this is the wrong forum, but I need seriously help with my computer. When I bought my laptop the harddrive was already partioned. I tried to install windows XP but instead of removing the partion, it installed everything on one hard drive and didn't delete anything, even though I told it to format the hard drives. How do I remove the partion? I can reinstall XP, but when I try to use the recovery discs that came with the comp, the comp won't run them

HELP!!!
 
open up a command prompt window and run fdisk.exe to manually remove teh partition. then formatthe drive and start all over
 
You don't need a manual. Just read the instructions on the screen during setup.

When you get to the screen during setup where you partition and such, just delete ALL the partitions and then re-create the way you want them.

Personally, I'd use NTFS.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I hope the retard that partitioned my HD back in the beginning gets his nuts cut off. This still isn't working, any other suggestions from people?
 
Ok, how do you re-install xp? Did you load up windows and put in the cd and install it from there or do you set your bios to boot up from cd-rom and then put in the xp cd and let it loads from that? If you do like the first situation, then it thinks you are re-install/upgrading. It will not let you remove that partition because that is your only partition. Try to do like the second situation.
